Downsizing from a large family estate, these empty nester’s found solace in a home with the charm of a small-town feel. Their previous home featured a large patio area. Since this new property had minimal outdoor space, the importance of adding a charming place to relax and gather with family and friends was a priority. The feel and aesthetic of this space’s experience were vital to the homeowners.
Adding a 15′ x 24′ covered patio with a hot tub and wood-burning fireplace, with an adjoining 11′ x 24′ flagstone lined open patio, provides their desired gathering space. Incorporating details such as centering the fireplace with the large kitchen window, visible beam and rafter detailing, color-tinted ceiling, radius hearth, custom mantle brackets, and wood box seats maximized the space. The final result creates a stunning setting to entertain and seek relaxation.
